Intelligence. A Comparative Study of Cognitive Skills and School Performance in Adolescents

Abstract

This study is an attempt to approach intelligence from a factorial perspective and to relate it with scholar ability and succes. Thus, different special aptitudes and the “g”-factor intelligence have been correlated with the marks gained by a group of 16 and 17-year-old students in various school-subjects; at the same time the relation between the “g”-factor and each aptitude has been observed.
